Book of the week - Rupert Story Book

Every time a Rupert Bear book or annual comes into stock it brings back happy memories from my childhood. The adventures of Rupert and his friends are an integral part of my young life and maybe yours too. Therefore this weeks book of the week is a lovely copy of Rupert's Story Book containing four stories - Rupert at school, Rupert and Algernon, Rupert and the miser and Rupert's mysterious flight.

There are fairies at the bottom of our garden! It's not so very far away; you pass the gardener’s shed and you just keep straight ahead, I do so hope they've really come to stay. Rose Fyleman

When little elves have cut themselves, or mouse has hurt her tail, or froggie's arm has come to harm, this herb will never fail. The fairy's skill can cure each ill and soothe the sorest pain; She'll bathe, and bind, and soon they'll find that they are well again. Flower Fairies of the wayside C. M. Barker.
